Sam Smith is pissing off thousands of fans with his opinions on Michael Jackson's music.
The Writing's on the Wall singer got in hot water after Adam Lambert shared a video of himself and Smith relaxing on a boat with the late icon's Human Nature playing the background, as Smith confessed:
"I don't like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song."
Someone off camera then said, "Oh," likely in shock from the admission. Well, the rest of the internet was just as mortified.

After vigilant Twitter account Music News Facts captured the quickly deleted video, fans lampooned Smith for his controversial taste in music.
See the video, along with some hilariously upset reactions (below)!

Sam Smith doesn't like Michael Jackson. The same Sam Smith whose Bond theme sounded like Earth Song?

Even TJ Jackson, nephew of the King of Pop, chimed in:
Sam Smith made a career on singing R&B/soul music. So to look into a camera and disregard one of its pillars is ignorant, disrespectful and arrogant. Everyone has opinions but @samsmithworld don’t disparage a soul pioneer when they helped paved the way for you and your music. 🤫 pic.twitter.com/SzNQa2QAzr
— TJ Jackson (@tjjackson) August 13, 2018
But the most passionate response came from singer Stephanie Mills, who has said she dated MJ back in the day. Stephanie wrote:
@Samsmithworld Don’t come for MICHAEL JACKSON when you wish you have sold as many records and you wish you were the King of Pop like he was. I’m so tired of you people studying our music, and studying our artist and claiming that you don’t like our music. Go sit your 1 HIT WONDER ass down and learn how to finish a tour. When you can sell as many records as the king of Pop, Michael Jackson then maybe you can say something. So I say to you Mr. Smith have several seats and come for me if you want to.A post shared by Stephanie Mills (@iamstephaniemills) on Aug 12, 2018 at 10:52am PDT
She really wants him to Beat It!

Jada Pinkett Smith is speaking out about the need for Hollywood to “expand its concepts of race, gender equality and inclusion in regard to its perceptions of art across the board.”
In particular, Jada spoke out on Twitter after her co-star Tiffany Haddish wasn’t given a nomination for Girls Trip, Get Out being considered in the comedy category, and The Big Sick being snubbed.
“I’m not upset about @TiffanyHaddish or @GirlsTripMovie not getting a nom… I’m discouraged about the fact that the Hollywood Foreign Press/@goldenglobes wouldn’t even WATCH the movie,” Jada revealed. “Girls Trip was one of the most successful films this summer & Tiff was hands down the funniest person on screen in 2017 and we couldn’t get eyes on the film or a press conference. How could a nom happen & how much more critical acclaim must a movie have to simply get a screening?”
She also revealed that as much as the film couldn’t get a screening, they did ask Tiffany to present at the show.
Jada famously spoke out about the #OscarsSoWhite movement and boycotted the ceremony in 2016.

Jane Lynch is continuing to speak out following Mark Salling's shocking death.
As we previously reported, the Glee alum died of an apparent suicide this week, about a month ahead of his prison sentencing for his child porn case (which he plead guilty to back in December). Despite his obvious demons, Salling's peers weighed in on this tragedy by asking fans to respect the controversial actor's loved ones by withholding any cruel comments.

Upon first learning the news, Lynch also added that this whole situation was "tragic and very sad." She further addressed Mark's suicide during a conversation with Us Weekly at the Adopt the Arts' Annual Rock Gala on Wednesday. The celebrated comedienne relayed:
"It's been tough. He was a troubled, troubled guy, and he always was. This is a very sad end to it, but I know that he's at peace now. He's in the arms of a beneficent force."
As Jane starred with Mark on Ryan Murphy's hit Fox comedy for years, we're sure this hasn't been an easy time. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress continued:
"I know life was very, very hard for Mark. I think we all do the best we can at the end of the day. I know Mark that did the best he could."
Although they worked together for a lengthy period of time, Jane never became super close with Mark or his family. She noted:
"He was a hard guy to get to know."
Nonetheless, Jane knows Mark loved being a part of the Glee family. On one Mark related memory, Jane recalled:
"He took videos of the stages and everything. He was so happy to be coming to work, to be on the show. He wrote a song and videotaped his day being on Glee. Driving into the Paramount lot … at that time he was living on a cot in a little room. It was a big jump for him in his career, and also, he had a job and was in with this group of really great kids. I think he knew that he was breathing rarefied air. There was so much joy and happiness in his musical video that he shot for himself. Fox made him take it down. But it was a sweet, beautiful expression of his joy and being in Glee."
We're certain Mark's loved ones appreciate the kind words Jane has shared about the disgraced star. If you, or a loved one, is combatting suicidal thoughts please call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
